The MICHIGAN PALACE was a well-known Downtown Detroit
Rock and Roll venue in the early 70's.
I'm trying to compile a complete list of big-name performers who played there.
I was told to talk to Benny of "Benny and the Jets" who used to run the place, but I haven't had the opportunity to speak to him.
If anyone knows anything, please help me out.
Thanks.
See 'ya,
Carl

I also remembered that one of the Kiss shows had former Move player Roy Wood's Wizzard as the opening act. Larry

Carl, I hope to see your work at the Russell this weekend. Benny from the jets father owned the Palace. If you ever see the movie 8 Mile, there is a scene that shows the ceiling of the Palace. It is now a parking lot. Imagine that!! geri

David Bowie also played there after his Diamond Dogs era. I saw Kiss and Rush on the same bill once If I recall correctly. Years later I had a friend that worked downtown and we were going to go somewhere together. He suggested we meet by his work and I could park my car in his company lot. When I drove in I almost got sick because I found myself inside the Michigan Palace. What a tragedy. Larry
